Feedback on Scrapbook about circadian clocks

Bonnie Dixon asked the Naked Scientists:
Nice video, but it didn't mention the fastest way to reset the circadian rhythm, by fasting for 16 hours and then eating breakfast:
This works because the circadian rhythm is only set by light in well fed animals. In a hungry animal, the timing of food availability is a more important zeitgeber (time cue). And the food-entrainable clock in our brains can be reset a lot faster than the light-entrainable clock.
What do you think?
